Are there jobs in childcare nursery avaliable in Adelaid.

Wendy

Yes, you go on the same visa as your wife as her spouse.

Look on www.seek.com.au and www.careerone.com.au for jobs

Thank you wendy i was worried that at 45 i would not be able to go.

Wendy

It's only a hassle if it's the main applicant, but even those over 45 can get sponsorship in certain cases.

Veronika

If your wife can get assessed as a Child Care Co-ordinator (this means that she directs the activities of a child care centre or service) then she can claim 15 points for MODL (occupations in demand).

If this is not possible then she will have to be assessed as a teacher.

If you are falling short of points then you may have to consider a state sponsorship. From memory Victoria currently offers sponsorship to pre-primary and primary school teachers.

Cheers

Many thanks wendy and Veronika for your input will make some enquiries and fingers crossed its Adelaide for us.
